My wife and I have been wanting to teach our daughter Italian and spanish. I am originally from Italy but my family moved to America when I was 7 years old. My wife has lived here in America all her life and she is part Italian on her dad's side and part Cuban on her mom's side. Because culture is so important to us we want to teach our daughter to speak Italian and Spanish. She is only 2 years old right now. Is that a good age for her to start learning? And does anyone have any ideas how we can teach her these languages?

im 15, Im Dominican But my dad cant speak spanish -___- smh what a nub ! bu i want a FREE easy way to learn how to spak spanish !!! dont send me something where i have to order a disk, thanks (:
& no, my high school doesnt offer it, smh STUPID !

Ok im mixed moms Mexican and dad American. I speak a little and understand everything prefect but when i was younger my dad told my mom to stop speaking spanish to us. It was sad

But when i go to Mexico people look at me badly because i dont speak Spanish and im Mexican

What do you think?

I read somewhere that his dad was mexican and his mom is black. However, his dad died when Cudi was young. Do you think his dad ever tought him spanish? And if he did, can he still speak it or understand it?

My Dad told me and my brothers to talk English to people from Mexico in Restaurants or stores, im a 21 year old Mexican-American in San Antonio Texas, My family says if they speak spanish to you , speak in English to them, they tell me this isnt a foreign country,

ok so every where people always say you look mexican are you and do you speak spainsh it gets anoying
my mom is black white and north american
my dad is black and puerto rican
i have tan skin and long curly dark brown hair

because my dad offered me 10,000 dollars in cash if learn it, so i need to know how to learn to speak spanish fluently, but i wanna learn fast. so if you have anything let me know.

Do people who live along the coast in Mexico have a lot of the same mannerisms of Californians above them? It would be so hot to meet a Spanish speaking Mexican guy who surfs. None of the Mexicans I know right now in Cali do that. I want to meet a guy who surfs for some reason because it reminds me of my dad and I always grew up at the beach watching my dad surfing.

We're Mexican-American, but we speak TOTAL English at home. Only time we speak Spanish is when our dad is pissed and is lecturing us. So if we hear someone yelling like a guy from a Spanish soap opera, it only means one thing. We're in trouble.
And we (the kids) can understand Spanish, but we can't speak it. Talk to us in Spanish and we respond in English.

Well my family is chinese but in that dream, my dad was on his cell phone speaking Spanish while me and my mom was speaking chinese. That's just the specific detail I remember, the rest of the dream I forgot. What could it mean?

I am triracial (African American ,Dominican,Puerto Rican)
and cannot speak a lick of spanish all of my older brothers can but none of my sisters or myself can, and I would like to learn... but I am 27 years old amd my dad say's that I am too old to learn and that none of it will stick if I do try to learn. can some one help.

I am 75% mexican although I consider myself full...My mother is half mexican an half white she does not speak spanish (That's the reason why) My dad's family all speaks spanish (I don't live with him) And my grandma (Mom's side) Speaks spanish...But I have a white accent but I can understand some words..My boyfriend speaks Spanish and so does his family. None of them really speak english good except his brother and sisters and himself. I really wanna learn so I can speak with my other family members and his family...Spanish seems very hard for me I feel stupid when I try to speak it. Please help?? I don't have very much money...so what can help me?
My email is Angelcindy96@yahoo.com if you wanna contact me (:

I'm Hispanic and white so don't think I’m being racist. I just don't get how some Latin American people talk with a heavy accent and they don't even speak Spanish. Is this some kind of trend? I know plenty of people like this. I don't know maybe I don't do this because my dad is not Mexican he is from Guatemala and I guess the way they sound is different i.e. like USA English to United Kingdom English

My dad and I have a bet about what percentage of Californians speak Spanish. I say less than 50% and my dad says 50%.
I'm talking about pretty much at the level of fluency.

I've been looking at college applications and im not sure what race i need to put down. My dad is Spanish, Mexican, Native American, and a few others things that are of white background. My mom also has Native American in her. My last name is Spanish but our culture has nothing Spanish in it.
Im confused on what is the correct term for me.

i know its spanish, but its not like mexicans speak it.is it like dialect or something? my parents are from nicaragua(mom from corinto,my dad from Managua) but Mexican people think i speak spanish weird.... how is it different and what are some words that we use differently?
